Macklemore and his crew were kicking back in Dublin last night before today's mammoth show at Marlay Park.

The rapper was spotted enjoying pizza and pints at the Bernard Shaw on Richmond Street, which happens to be the sister venue of the Twisted Pepper where he played his first gig on our shores back in 2011.

Acting the maggot, he also added to the wall of graffiti in the popular southside spot.

The superstars revealed their grá for Ireland last week in a video paying homage to their Irish fans and Dublin music venue the Twisted Pepper, crediting the Irish fans as “a community of people whose support for my music would only be rivalled by my own town in Seattle, Washington.”

Tonight's show is sure to be a bonanza of Irish celebration, considering the last time the pair played here, Macklemore burst onto the O2 stage wearing an Irish rugby jersey and proclaiming; “Finally we made it back home!”.

Specially made merchandise with an Irish theme will be available at the huge show.

A rocky road to success via substance abuse, since turning sober in 2008 and pairing up with producer Lewis, there’s been no stopping Macklemore.

Four Grammys later, he’s back in his favourite place and ready to deliver what’s sure to be one of the shows of the summer.
